The Ducks Everywhere Discussion Forums

Long story even shorter: Booger bear is in dirt this year. We're rotating it out this season. Bam!

Hey guys! If you haven't sent us your dues yet, Richie and I need some of you to help us out. We've been putting deposits on fields and are going to need some funds that aren't there when the next deposit is asked for. If you haven't taken care of business already, please give me or Richie a holler ...

I'll be praying for both of them and their families.

From the AGFC website: Commissioners with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission approved changes to Arkansas’s Nonresident Waterfowl Wildlife Management Area Permit at today’s regularly scheduled meeting in Jonesboro. The changes are an attempt to provide additional hunting opportunity to residents ...

Don't forget that you'll need the free Sweet 16 permit to hunt some of the WMAs. (Since it's free, go ahead and select all WMA's when you apply.) Also, the OOS'ers (out-of-staters) will need to get a non-resident WMA permit prior to hunting, either the $25 5-day permit that can be purchased online o...

I haven't read the actual regulations yet, but here is the press release. No more Wonderducks on WMAs? Looks like that may be the case: Migratory bird seasons set, mechanical decoys banned on WMAs LITTLE ROCK – Although chronic wasting disease has garnered most of the attention from the media durin...

I just finished watching the live stream of the AGFC meeting. Primarily, I wanted to see if there was any discussion of limiting OOS'ers on WMA's. There wasn't. What they did do, however, without any discussion to speak of, is approve every proposed change from there survey that received a majority ...

LITTLE ROCK – Arkansas’s duck season will again cover 60 days. It’s the 19th consecutive year the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission has approved a 60-day hunting season for waterfowl. The vote came today during the Commission’s monthly meeting. AGFC Waterfowl Program Coordinator Luke Naylor presente...

LITTLE ROCK – In an effort to improve waterfowl hunting on public areas, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission today banned the use of simulated wing-movement decoys on two of the state’s wildlife management areas during waterfowl season. The two WMAs are Bayou Meto and Dave Donaldson Black River. T...

Hold the press! Everyone needs to go to www.agfc.com and voice your opinion about an alternative season proposal that takes the after season youth hunt and the last 5 days of January so that the youth season can be the two days after Christmas. To each his own, but I can't help but wonder why anyone...

They won't make anything official until the August meeting, but here are the proposed dates the AGFC is considering: Proposed duck season dates: Nov. 21-29 Dec. 10-Dec. 23 Dec. 26-Jan. 31 Youth Hunt: Feb. 6-7 Canada, White-fronted, snow, blue and Ross’s goose seasons Nov. 19-Jan. 31 Snow, blue and R...

If there was ever such a thing as a typical Arkansas duck season in my mind, last year was it. We started strong, had a tough mid-season, and then ran out the later part of season on a heater. Overall, our average number of ducks killed per hunter per day was almost dead-on our average (down only .1...

I have finally got all of the more pressing loose ends wrapped up in the members only section of the forum so if all goes well, I should get last years photos and season summary posted soon. Hopefully tomorrow, but certainly by the end of the week.

Just FYI, Rogers Sporting Goods has a great deal on Hevi Metal shotshells right now that includes no tax (for everyone except Coleman) and free shipping. I just placed an order for 10 cases for me and Richie to get us through the first week or two of season :mrgreen: . We've shot these quite a bit a...

Richie mentioned to me the other day that we need to update our forums as our public forum hasn't had any activity on it in so long that it probably appears to visitors that the club is all but dead. I couldn't have agreed more, so I committed to doing my part to show a little life on the public for...

LITTLE ROCK – It may be mid-summer in Arkansas, but fall hunting was on the agenda for last week’s meeting of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. During the meeting, the Commission set the state’s dove season dates. Commissioners also heard a proposal for the late migratory bird seasons. Early mi...

Yup. I bred her to a well-bred chocolate factored black HRCH/MH that I have known for about 3 years. A+ on looks and IMO the best dog to come through our retriever club since Timber was in his prime. With Whiskey being choc. factored too, we should get about 25% chocolate pups, 50 choc factored blac...

Excited? About what? Certainly not duck season. Are they even having a season this year? I don't know that anyone's even checked. Seriously, the boards have been burning up more than ever with excitement, it's just that all the good stuff takes place on the private forums. We're all locked and loade...

From the AGFC: Commission proposes late migratory season LITTLE ROCK – It’s still months away, but the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission discussed duck hunting during last week’s monthly meeting. The proposed late migratory bird season dates were reviewed and the early season migratory bird dates ap...

Nope. He needed to stick around for another couple of months for a second shot. Trying to decide whether to breed to the non-hunt-tested son of his that looks and acts just like him that I trained with off and on and knew as a pup; or whether to go with a titled-up/high-dollar stud. The smart money ...
